Well its 3 am again, like it always seems to be Drivin' northbound, drivin' homeward Drivin' wind is drivin' me And it just seems so funny That I always end up here Walkin' outside in the storm While looking way up past the tree-line It's been some time
Give me darkness when I'm dreaming Give me moonlight when I'm leaving Give me shoes that weren't made for standing Give me tree-line, give me big sky Get me snow-bound, give me rain clouds Give me a bed time... just sometimes
Now you're talkin' in my room But there ain't nobody here 'cause I've been driving like a trucker I've been burnin' through the gears I've been training like a soldier I've been burnin' through this sorrow And the only talkin' lately Is that background radio
You were my friend, and I was the same Riding that hope was like catching some train Well now I just walk Well I don't mind the rain But I've been singing So much softer than I did back then
The night, I think Is darker than we can really say And god's been living in that ocean Sending us all the big waves And I wish I was a sailor So I could know just how to trust Maybe I could bring some grace back home To the dry land for all of us
